Merry Lewis has been with Brownell for over 10 years. Her unique passion lies in planning independent travel experiences to Europe. With over a dozen freewheeling, self-driven tours of countries in Europe, Merry has developed an unparalleled knowledge and affinity for the culture, history and people of the region. She loves nothing better than arranging trips that help independent travelers experience a distinctive sense of place and thrill of discovery. "I take each request as a personal challenge to make the experience for the client as fun, convenient, comfortable, affordable, exciting and memorable as possible."

Merry makes each of these journeys a success by truly listening to her clients and determining what each one ultimately desires! She then puts her passion for research to work, finding the perfect hotel, a unique site to visit and a surprising insight into another culture. Merry relies heavily on Brownell's connection with Virtuosos on-sites to help make her dream trips a reality.

Merry also finds time in her busy schedule to plan cruises, ski trips, biking and hiking adventures, escorted tours, honeymoons and trips to the Caribbean.
